Quick answer
To promote an airdrop or token launch on Telegram, run an airdrop bot or Mini App with clear quests, drive real users to it with task ads and placements in Telegram Mini Apps and bots, announce it through sponsored posts in crypto channels, and filter bots and multi-accounts before distribution. Adsun task, network and native campaigns cover all of these with USDT payments and traffic-quality controls. Communicate eligibility and risks honestly and follow local laws.
Key takeaways
- Quests (join, start bot, open app) are the core airdrop funnel.
- Task ads deliver measurable quest completions.
- Bot filtering is essential — fake users waste tokens.
- Honest eligibility rules protect your reputation.

Metric definitions and formulas
- CPM
- Cost per mille: what an advertiser pays for 1,000 ad impressions.
CPM = (Ad spend ÷ Impressions) × 1,000 - CPC
- Cost per click: average price an advertiser pays for one click.
CPC = Ad spend ÷ Clicks - CTR
- Click-through rate: the share of impressions that produced a click.
CTR = (Clicks ÷ Impressions) × 100% - eCPM
- Effective CPM: what a publisher earns per 1,000 impressions, whatever the pricing model.
eCPM = (Publisher earnings ÷ Impressions) × 1,000 - Fill rate
- The share of ad requests that returned an ad.
Fill rate = (Filled ad requests ÷ Total ad requests) × 100%

Worked example
Hypothetical example — not real Adsun data
An advertiser spends $150 over 7 days on a CPC campaign. The ads get 120,000 impressions and 1,800 clicks (CTR = 1,800 ÷ 120,000 = 1.5%; CPC = 150 ÷ 1,800 ≈ $0.083). 540 users start the bot or join the channel (conversion = 30%), so cost per user = 150 ÷ 540 ≈ $0.28. 7 days later 380 are still active: cost per retained user = 150 ÷ 380 ≈ $0.39. Use your own numbers from the Adsun dashboard.
Adsun measurement methodology
Adsun counts an impression when an ad is rendered in a publisher block, a click when the user opens the ad destination, and a reward only after the server-to-server Reward URL confirms completion. Debug-mode traffic is excluded from billing and reports. Metrics are shown per platform, block and country in the partner and advertiser dashboards. Adsun does not publish aggregate network benchmarks in this guide; any number below marked “Hypothetical” is illustrative only. See the SDK documentation for integration details.
